This is one of my favourite movies about the difference between “sex” and what it takes to build a relationship, involving passionate sex, with another man based on “love.” Incredibly moving. The Romanian lover, played by a drop-dead gorgeous actor, turns the quite hideous, twisted, unhappy English lad, who has a good heart but feels trapped by his strong sex drive and his family situation, into a wonderful human being. Plus the fact that the setting in northern England is unbelievably, I repeat, just unbelievably beautiful. God’s own country! The film is also an elegy to what was lost thanks to Brexit: a free mingling of English and European men with skills and love to share with one another, set to inherit and nurture God’s earth. AJ
please wait 5 seconds, the film will load after the short advert.
I just watched this moving film not knowing anything about it. It has moved me to the core. It is now my favorite film ever and I will be sharing this for years to come.
Been a while since I have seen this film Thank You, for sharing!
Wonderful to see that when two men allow themselves to be vuneralble with each other, that a deep love can grow.
Good review, read with interest and almost thought about watching the film, but then you had to go and bring Brexit into it and spoilt it!
Cut your nose to spite your face.
Your loss!!
Yes, seen it long time back when it was first released. A great film. I like how the film, and the story, progresses through the bleak and cold on the winter into the warmth of spring and approaching summer.
Saw it more than once, loved it!
Yes, I agree with myself, this is one of my favourite movies about the difference between “sex” and what it takes to build a relationship, involving passionate sex, with another man based on “love.” Incredibly moving. The Romanian lover, played by a drop-dead gorgeous actor, turns the quite hideous, twisted, unhappy English lad, who has a good heart but feels trapped by his strong sex drive and his family situation, into a wonderful human being.

Thank You, I love this
